YSA denounces silence on Gaza, backs regional resistance
[12/ June/2025]
Sana'a - Saba:

The Yemeni Scholars Association on Thursday issued a strong condemnation of the sanctity and reprehensibility of silence regarding the ongoing crimes, starvation, thirst, and genocide in Gaza.

In a statement, the YSA asserted that the religious obligation to support Gaza intensifies with every new casualty and every day that passes, despite the inaction of numerous Muslim nations and regimes.

The YSA declared that there is no excuse for leaders, armies, and peoples across the Muslim world to refrain from "jihadist movement" to aid the oppressed, deliver humanitarian supplies, and stand with the just Palestinian cause, which it described as "the epitome of truth and a distinguishing mark between faith and hypocrisy."

Furthermore, the statement expressed absolute support for the Yemeni Armed Forces' "great jihadist operations" and the leadership's "firm and principled decision" to back Gaza.

The YSA's statement noted that these operations cause "great concern to the Zionists and protect the Yemeni people from divine wrath that will befall those who remain indifferent.

The Yemeni Scholars Association also extended its warning to the Syrian and Lebanese people, urging them to recognize the Zionist threat and direct their animosity towards it before it consolidates its occupation and expands its ambitions.

In this context, the YSA deemed the preservation of Hezbollah's weapons a "religious and humanitarian duty.

Addressing recent escalations and threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the association affirmed its solidarity and support for Iran's right to respond to any aggression. It called upon Islamic regimes and peoples to stand with Iran against any escalation, considering such solidarity an act of faith.

The statement concluded by emphasizing that adherence to Islam and the Quran necessitates all Islamic nations to hasten their support for Gaza, stand in solidarity with Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Hezbollah against any aggression or conspiracy, and resist American and Western threats.

The association explicitly stated that no cooperation or participation in aggression against Iran is permissible, and that Iran possesses the legitimate right to defend itself and target American bases in the region if attacked.
